Ebony's "Family Issue(s)" Cover is Incredible

The new issue of Ebony looks quite powerful, taking on the issue of black families head-on through a striking cover image depicting the shattering of the Huxtable family, stars of The Cosby Show -- the members of which are certainly less powerful positive role models after the recent publicity surrounding Cosby's history of rape.

The image is really powerful -- without getting too deep into the significance of it here, it seems like enough to say that something really is broken, and a conversation about how to fix that thing (or whether it's worth fixing at all) might start in the pages of the magazine.
